Some members of the Brazilian national football team were trapped Friday by flight delay in Brazil and lost connection flight in Miami (United States).

 

Members of technical team and players like Robinho (Real Madrid), Vagner Love (CSKA Moscow) and Kleber (Santos) departed from Rio de Janeiro to Chicago.

 

But their plane was delayed by one hour and half in Sao Paulo airport and when they arrived at Miami, the connection flight to Chicago has already left.

 

Robinho and his fellows were forced to find a hotel, waiting for the next flight, said official sources of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).

 

Other members of the Brazilian national football team traveled directly from Europe to Chicago.

 

Brazil will confront the United States on Sunday in Chicago. Three days later, they will play another match against Mexico in Boston.
